Then, it was Rep. Brian Bilbray (R-CA) who said that "trained
professionals" can spot an undocumented immigrant simply by the way they're
dressed. Watch:

Chris Matthews: ...like what, like what? Give me a non-ethnic aspect that would tell
you to pick up somebody.

Rep. Bilbray: They will look
at the kind of dress you wear, there's different type of attire, there's
different type of ...right down to the shoes, right down to the clothes. But mostly by behavior it's mostly behavior,
just as the law enforcement people here in Washington, DC does it based on
certain criminal activity there is behavior things that professionals are
trained in across the board and this group shouldn't be exempt from those
observations as much as anybody else.

So either Bilbray thinks that all undocumented workers are
wearing some kind of uniform or team shirt that will easily allow Arizona
officers to grab them up...or he's just clumsily, wrongly, and, frankly, stupidly
trying to justify what will obviously become a horrible situation for all
Latino (or Latino-dressed?) residents of Arizona.

His subsequent comments on behavior are just as offensive.
Because what would that behavior be, exactly?
It isn't as if undocumented immigrants are engaging in behavior that
makes them instantly identifiable as "illegal."

This bill, no matter what language included to prevent it,
will result in the racial profiling of Latino citizens, legal residents, and
any and all visitors to Arizona. Not to mention everyone else who might appear
to be Latino to these "trained professionals."
